A Life Made Miserable

by dyspepsia is scarcely worth the living A Ca
PRECIOUS appetite, heartburn, puzzling nervous
symptoms, increased action of the heart after eat
ing, sinking in the abdomen betweeh meals, and
fiatulence after, among the successive ildicia
of this harrassng complaint. Two things only are
needful for its removal. A resort to Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, and persistence in its use These
remedial measures being adopted, a cure is GER
tain. Taken Immediately before or after meals
this great stomachic promotes secretion of the
gastric juice. the natural solvent of the food The
nervous and bilious symptoms consequent upon
chronic indigestion disappear, as the complaint
gradually Yields to the corrective and invigorat-
ing influence of the Bitters. Appetite returns,
sleep becomes more refreshing, and as sequence,
the body Is efficiently n0urished, muscular power
increases, and the mind grows sanguine. Use the
Bitters for chills and fever and rheumatism.
